Demon's Diary

Chapter 1509: Undercurrent

“Back to the palace.”

After saying that, Zhao Qianying released a huge purple cauldron phantasm, and a purple light surged out and wrapped her.

With a flash of purple light, Zhao Qianying appeared hundreds of meters away.

After several flashes, she appeared above the Central Imperial City dozens of miles away.

Huangfu Zhantian looked in the direction in which Zhao Qianying was going, with a hint of greed in his eyes

“Void Demonic Cauldron… it won’t be long before it’s mine…”

With this thought in his mind, he took a deep breath, and his body suddenly turned into a ray of purple light and flew towards the Central Imperial City.

…

At the same time, over the stretch of valley in Liang State, a thick gray mist was rolling in the sky. The ground below was pitch black like night time as the gray mist went past.

The gray mist was not stationary, but it was moving towards the northwest at a rapid speed, so the darkness on the ground below was only momentarily.

If one looked at it carefully, he could see that this giant cloud of gray mist was formed by dozens of medium-sized gray mist. The dozen gray mist clouds in front were keeping a certain distance from the gray mist clouds behind.

In the middle of the front mist clouds, thousands of gray-robed men were standing on a ship the size of a giant tree leaf.

In the middle of the leaf was two-story building. Next to the building was a large flag with the word ‘Shuo’.

In the building, a gentle gray brocade-robed young man robe was looking forward calmly. The scene outside the gray mist could be seen from his position.

There were 2 people standing beside him. One was a muscular man with twisted beard. He was saying something in anger. The other one was a thin old man whose eyes were half open. He didn’t seem to hear the words of the gray-robed burly man.

“Young Master, that old guy Kongxiang Wu is cunning. He supports us in name, but he wants us to take the lead and serve as cannon fodder!” The muscular man with twisted beard said angrily.

“Isn’t Gaohe Rui having the same thoughts too? They said they are dissatisfied with Central Imperial, but they just want to use us.” The gentle young man said with a faint smile.

“Then why are we letting them?” The muscular man with twisted beard said.

“It doesn’t matter. I have sent someone to spread the word about the moves of the Kongxiang Family and Gaohe Family. I believe that little girl Zhao Qianying will not sit idly by if she finds out. Then, it’s our time to watch the good show.” The gentle young man waved his hand and said so.

At this moment, more than a dozen miles away from the large gray mist, a black light stream passed by. In the blink of an eye, it had already become a black spot on the distant horizon.

The direction it went was also northwest.

“This speed is probably more than twice as fast as that of the late family master. Could that be a Mystic Comprehending State who is particularly good at escape speed? And it is heading northwest. Could it be that it is heading toward Yu State? “In the building, the muscular man with twisted beard said in shock.

“Elder Tianpei, did you sense anything just now?” The gentle young man frowned slightly. He ignored the muscular man with twisted beard and asked the thin old man respectfully.

“I have never seen such a speed. In my impression, there seems to be no such person in this continent… In addition, my Divine Thought can’t even sense if there is anyone inside the light stream.” The thin old man raised his half-open eyes slightly and said slowly.

The muscular man with twisted beard was even more astounded. Even the gentle young man was startled too.

This thin old man looked sickly, but this Liu Tianpei had the highest cultivation in the Liu Family now. His cultivation level was comparable to that of Liu Huifeng back then. If his Divine Thought couldn’t sense through the black light stream, the people inside must have higher cultivation.

The gentle young man continued to look ahead at the space that had returned normal, but his expression looked a little gloomy.

…

Soon after Huangfu Yupo’s army set out, news such as the remnants of the Liu Family’s rebels colluding with the Kongxiang family to make a comeback, and the recent abnormal movement of the Gaohe Family, quickly spread in Central Imperial City and even the surrounding states.

People in the Imperial City were panicked.

Those who feared that things wouldn’t get worse even swore that they saw with their own eyes the 6 legions of the Huangfu Family marching to Qing State.

After the army left Imperial City, the number of guards in the city was significantly reduced, which further aggravated the anxiety of ordinary demons in Imperial City.

Various rumors were circulated in the city. Among them, the most widely circulated was that some people said that the current situation in the continent was so turbulent because of the lack of ability of Demon Emperor Zhao Qianying. Some people even wanted Zhao Qianying to abdicate and choose another capable person to take over.

Of course, even though the current Huangfu Family was not as powerful as before, the 3 great families still couldn’t compare with it. Moreover, the Huangfu Family had ruled the continent for so many years, so the sense of imperial power orthodoxy was deeply rooted. Therefore, the candidate could only be chosen from the Huangfu Family.

In a remote hall of the Demon Emperor Palace, more than a dozen demons wearing purple robes were busy walking through the hall. In the hall, more than 10 communication arrays were shining. Jade slips were shining in the communication arrays, appearing or disappearing.

3 big characters of Mountain River Hall were hanging above the door.

This place was the Huangfu Family’s intelligence center. The communication arrays here connected all parts of the Thousands Demons Continent.

Ever since the news that the remnants of the Liu Family had made a comeback, the communication arrays were working every second without stopping.

In the center of the hall, Zhao Qianying was sitting behind a high desk. Dozens of jade slips were stacked in front of her and she was browsing them one by one. Elder Huangfu Tong was standing beside her.

It had been 3 days since Huangfu Yupo set off with the army. As news of the Kongxiang Family’s rebellion spread, large and small turbulences occurred in various places.

These jade slips were not only about the war in the Qing State but also minor disputes in various places, which had to be ignored for the time being.

Zhao Qianying put down a jade slip and sighed softly.

“Your Majesty, is there any information from Elder Yupo?” Huangfu Tong asked.

“Not yet. These are the news sent back by the spies in the Qing State. The rebels have occupied half of the Qing State’s territory. Elder Yupo will reach the Qing State in one day.” Zhao Qianying frowned slightly and pressed her forehead gently. She seemed mentally exhausted.

“If Your Majesty is tired, you can take a rest and let me filter the intel here.” Huangfu Tong suggested.

“No need. Reading jade slips won’t make me overtired at least.” Zhao Qianying smiled faintly.

At this moment, a burst of footsteps came in from outside. It was Huangfu Zhantian.

“Your Majesty, the family masters of the Lin Family and the Chu Family that I mentioned to you a few days ago are waiting in the reception hall.” Huangfu Zhantian bowed to Zhao Qianying and said.

Hearing this, Zhao Qianying nodded with a hint of joy and stood up.

These 2 people were the 2 powerful family masters that Huangfu Zhantian had attracted in the past few days. If they could be won over, it would undoubtedly be a good thing for the current dire situation.

“Elder Tong, please sort out the intels for me. I’ll be back as soon as I can.” She said to Huangfu Tong.

Huangfu Tong quickly took the order.

Zhao Qianying and Huangfu Zhantian immediately walked to the reception hall.

After a while, they came to a spacious and majestic hall.

There were 2 guards standing on the left and right outside the main hall door. Looking from outside the door, some figures could be seen faintly in the main hall.

Zhao Qianying’s expresison moved slightly as she saw the 2 guards outside the door.

These 2 guards were not the usual guards of the reception hall. They looked quite unfamiliar.

“Your Majesty, the 2 family masters have been waiting for a long time. Let’s go in.” Huangfu Zhantian’s eyes revealed a hint of anxiousness, and he said.

Zhao Qianying withdrew her gaze and walked into the hall.

Huangfu Zhantian followed Zhao Qianying into the hall in relief. He raised his hand behind his back slightly, making a gesture.

At this time, there were more than 20 demons in various costumes sitting in the main hall, divided into 2 groups on the left and right. They stood behind a golden-robed young man with an ordinary face and a veiled red-robed woman respectively.

They hurriedly stood up as they heard the footsteps.

The golden-robed young man looked at Zhao Qianying and his eyes moved slightly.

“Your Majesty, these 2 are the family masters of the Lin Family and the Chu Family.” Huangfu Zhantian stood behind Zhao Qianying and introduced.

“Thank you for coming all the way to the Imperial City.” Zhao Qianying glanced at the golden-robed young man and the veiled woman and said lightly, then she swayed and appeared on the main seat.

“Miss Huangfu is polite. Elder Zhantian invited us here to discuss something that benefits both of our families. Of course, we couldn’t.” The golden-robed young man looked at Huangfu Zhantian who was standing at the door and said faintly.

Zhao Qianying frowned when he heard this.

As soon as the golden-robed young man said this, the people who were standing behind him with respectful expressions suddenly showed strange smiles. Some even looked at Zhao Qianying who was sitting on the main seat wantonly.

“You guys…” Zhao Qianying realized amiss and stood up suddenly. She launched a purple light out toward the outside of the hall.

At this moment, a giant black hand intercepted the purple light at the door.

“Pa“, the purple light hit the giant black hand and exploded.
